DESCRIPTION

Curses::UI::Dialog::Status is not really a dialog, since the user has no way of interacting with it. It is merely a way of presenting status information to the user of your program.

See exampes/demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::Status in the distribution for a short demo.

OPTIONS

-title < TEXT >
Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.
-message < TEXT >
This option sets the initial message to show to TEXT.

METHODS

new ( OPTIONS )
layout ( )
draw ( BOOLEAN )
These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.
message ( TEXT )
This method will update the message of the status dialog to TEXT. For this update to show, you will have to call the draw method of the progress dialog.
